Grays Athletic midfielder Harry Agombar has been handed the chance of the big time at Partizan Belgrade.
Agombar, 19, who plays in Ryman League Division One North, flew to Serbia yesterday.
He will spend a week in Serbia with Partizan, now managed by ex-West Ham boss Avram Grant.
Agombar told The Sun: "It's a massive opportunity, and I don't think anyone would turn it down.
"I've had to make the decision to take the chance whilst it's there, as it's something I've been working hard for.
"I'll always love Grays and I don't think it could have come at a worse time.
"But I should be back before the end of the season, and I'll give it my all."
